BrfghtwOOd; Anacost1a, Bennings road at Boun-
Diary; BladenSburg road at Boundary; TenallytOwn

1853; Chain bridge, 1888; 14th street Bright

The average daily tonnage on 7th street at
Boundary is greater than that on Arch street and
Court square, Boston; Chestnut and Olive streets
ST. Louis; st. Charles street, New Orleans, etc.
This table is Subtvided again as regards horses,
vehicles and passengers, and shows a grand
total Of 4S646 houses, 81 435 vehicles and Sc 7O7
In vehicles and on horseback. After dividing,
subdivtng and classifying until the smallest
details have been shown Captain Griffin

Importance OF the county is as follows: 1. 18th
street road; 2. Benning's road; 8 Tenleytown
road; 4. Bladensburg road; 5. Canal road; G. 18th
street road (the upper pOrtiOn).

road legislation whatever. Most people labor
under the impression that all laws are the
results of compromises of various conflicting
opinions and when Mr.. johnson refuses to
recognize this potent fact he becomes as
valuable to the railroads as though he was
opposed to any legislation at all.-Prospect-
Neacs.
But when 1t is all take and no give,
It is not a compromise. The bill as
finally amended gave not a single
guaranty that the country districts
would be freed from overcharges and
oppression. More than that, it took
away the right under the common la "
of suing for damages by reason of the
refusal of the railroad to furnish cars
within a reasonable time to country
shippers. 1t provided that where the
railroad failed to furnish cars, the ship
per could put on his own cars-a good
thing for the cities where cars can be
rented at any time, but devilish bad
thing for the country. We, for one, in
the light of all the facts, are heartily
glad that Senate Bill No. 239 failed,
and hope that the Special Session will
give US one drawn in the interest of all
the State-not for the trade centres
alone

1t is within the limit 10 say that the
history of official investigations has
never exhibited any such charming
testimony as that OF Mr.. c. P. Hunt
ington, Vice-President of The Central
Pacific Road. Only $4,000, 900 expen-
ded, without vouchers. in eleven years.
Invent TO "explain things" he said.
And now the public asks for an ex2la-
na.ion, which IL does noG get. 1t may
be well to remember that the right of
the public TO ask for an explanation,
arises from the law requiring the road
to pay a certain portion of lis net
earning over to the Uuited States IN
return Cor money and credit loaned.
1t has been a funny thing about the
management OF these roats thai the
ground-fioor managers have grown
enormously rich while the ''net earn
ings" have been so small IS TO leave
practically nou.liaG for either the
ordinary stock holders or for the Unit

COlOred Society Notes.

The following is copy of the term report
submitted at the close of the school: No
of teachers, 1; No. of pupils, male, 80; fe-
male, 43; total No. enrolled, Is; whole No.
of days attended by all pupils during the
term, 4710; average No. pupils attending
each day during the term, so; average No.
of days attended by each pupil during the
term, s.; No. of days taught, 156. While it
may be seen that the attendance of the
pupils were up to the general average of
other schools in the county, yet the attend
ance was not what it ought to have been,
nor will it be, until there is enacted by the
Legislature a Compulsory School Law.
The monthly and term reports of the schools,
generally, do great injustice to the teachers,
and also to majority of their pupils, who
begin the first day of the term, and attend
regularly an average of eighteen days out of
every twenty, during the session; yet the
ninty per cent. made by these pupils must
be brought down by the negligence and in
difference of the minority to forty-five or
fifty per cent, and thus wrongly reflects up
on the teacher, the school, and the patrons
who send regular. For an instance, forty of
the above enrolment attended an average of
125 days, losing only 81 days each, yet the
report shows that the average loss wss 81
days each!
'Are there no places on the face of the earth,
Where charity dwelleth, and virtue hath
birth?'
All! search the wide world wherever you
can;
There is no justice awaiting the poor
teacher man.

to Gov. Hill. has set the political world
agoy. The Cincinnati Enquirer, with
its usual enterprise and dash, thus por-

one has undertaken to tell what Dan
Lamont said to Governor Hill and
what Governor Hill said to Daniel at
their Hoffman House conference.
With great enterprise, aud at vast
expense, we have been able to asce tain
that the most important proposition

The Perryville Chronicle man pays
his respects to Judge Fox in a column
article in his last weeks issue. A late
spree of the Judges is the subject mat
ter. For readable, if not commendable,
literature give us the Perry County
papers of a year past. Scarcely week
in the last twelve months but what one
of the two papers has INDUCED in at
tacks on the personal character of the
brother editor or some private citizen.
Strange to say, but one libel suit has
so far resulted.

Ben Deering, in his Golden Era Life,
endorses Gov. Hills veto of the High
License act recently passed by the New
York legislature. The bill was vetoed
on the grounds that it was special leg
islation, because it was made to apply
only to New York and Brooklyn, leav-
ing all the other cities in the State
without any of the advantages claimed
for the measure, as safe law to con.
troll an evil as conspicuous in Albany,
Buffalo and Troy as in New York.
